Things were rocking in Houston, Texas last night for WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames and things are about to get better tonight for WWE Survivor Series. Survivor Series is one of the original Big Four Pay Per Views (alongside Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, and SummerSlam) that the WWE debuted back in 1987. It’s the second longest running pay per view the company has and one of the best for it’s unique match that it was built around which was a five on five single elimination match (dubbed the Survivor Series match). This year things got a little more exciting especially with the competition between Raw and Smackdown as we now have champion vs champion matches. We have WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar (Raw) taking on WWE Champion AJ Styles (SD Live) in what should one interesting match. We are also getting WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz (Raw) taking on WWE United States Champion Baron Corbin (SD Live). We also have WWE RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss taking on WWE Smackdown Live Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair in a sort of dream match hence the reason Charlotte won the title.

Then there are the traditional Survivor Series matches and things have been heating up with all of the changes in whose in and who is not. The original RAW men’s team consisted of Kurt Angle (Captain), Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, and Jason Jordan taking on Smackdown Live’s team made up of Shane McMahon (Captain), Randy Orton, Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura, and John Cena. That was the original match and a lot of us were stunned at the fact that Jordan had been picked for the team considering Smackdown told the world that Cena was the last member chosen. Stephanie McMahon agreed with me and Bray Wyatt helped the situation by injuring Jordan last week on RAW. When it came time to announce the replacement, Jordan made the situation difficult and Triple H remedied it by announcing that it was him and he put the exclamation point on it by delivering a pedigree to Jordan. Now the match is interesting and one I can not wait to see because imagine the situations you’ll get in this match. Finn and Shinsuke in the ring at the same time or even Triple H and Bobby Roode and so many more.

The other traditional Survivor Series match is between the Women this time around as RAW’s Alicia Fox (Captain), Nia Jax, Asuka, Sasha Banks, and Bayley take on Smackdown Live’s Becky Lynch (Captain), Carmella, Naomi, Tamina, and Natalya. The thing that I would love to see happen tonight with that match is that instead of Natalya being in the match, Paige makes her triumphant return to a WWE ring as a member of Team Smackdown Live. I doubt it will happen because I believe that she is being punished for a picture she took last Monday. We’ll see if anything happens tonight, but there’s more matches for tonight. In their first PPV match since reuniting The Shield (Dean, Seth, and Roman) take on The New Day in a six man elimination falls count anywhere match. RAW tag team champions The Bar (Cesaro & Sheamus) take on The Usos to finish out the RAW vs Smackdown Live matches. The Pre-show features some surprise matches like Breezango taking on Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, Enzo defends his cruiserweight title against Kalisto and Matt Hardy takes on Elias Sampson. Again, they have set this PPV up to be a very good one, but it remains to be seen if it ends up going that way for them. I’ll be tuning into it and hopefully you are if you’re a fan. Check out my predictions below:

Overall, I think out of seven total matches between Raw and Smackdown Live, I think RAW wins overall, but the setting is set for a match between Triple H and Kurt Angle for WrestleMania 34.

You have to love it when the WWE finally builds up a match that deserves all the build up. At last months Summerslam, we were teased a match that we had hoped would happen for months, but the WWE did it the right way and they let Strowman build up to that very moment when he delivered two running powerslams to Brock Lesnar into two announce tables. What would follow in the next upcoming weeks has all of us salivating at the chance of a big heavyweight fight between The Monster Among Men taking on the Beast Incarnate for the WWE Universal Championship. The only questiuon heading into WWE NO Mercy tonight from the Staples Center in Los Angeles is whether or not we are getting the result that the overall consensus wants. Are we going to get a champion that is there and wrestling every week or are we going to have the same old and Lesnar is just going to be running the train through everyone until WrestleMania? I just hope that the WWE makes the right decision tonight and we get a new era in the WWE.

That isn’t the only big match on the card though, there is one more match that peaks my interest on the card. We knew for a little bit that John Cena was designated a free agent and that he could jump from brand to brand to face whoever he wanted. So we eventually knew that a match up with Roman Reigns was in the cards, I just didn’t think that we were going to get the match at No Mercy instead of WrestleMania, but this seems to be happening on both brands these days. So besides the shock of this match happening now, we have to look at the plus side of it and that is the promos between these two have been straight fire. It finally took someone like John Cena to bring out the best in Roman Reigns as far as mic skills were concerned because if it wasn’t for that first promo I probably wouldn’t have been as invested in this match as I am now. My only concern for this match is what is John Cena going to do? Is he going to do the so called “right thing” and put Roman Reigns over or is he going to “bury” him as people call it by winning the match? Another question to ask is even if Roman wins the match, is anyone going to even care enough to cheer him anyways?

Now there are other matches on the card and the only other match I am looking forward to is the tag team title rematch between the champions Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose who defend their belts against The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro). It’s 2/3’s of The Shield so what else am I supposed to say, I am a huge mark for that team so get over it. I was looking forward to the Women’s match until the WWE decided at the last minute that it was OK to insert Bayley into the match. I am also surprised that the Jason Jordan/The Miz match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship wasn’t a pre-show match, but that could be because Miz has amazing heel skills and Jason Jordan had two amazing matches with Roman Reigns and John Cena recently. I am however not looking forward to the Neville/Enzo Amore match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship because it’s an abomination that Neville has to defend that title against Enzo of all people. Could we have not found him a more suitable opponent like Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado, or even Akira Tozawa. Nonetheless, that is what we get for tonight and that’s what we’ll have to deal with. Here are my predictions for tonight:

It is not too often that a WWE pay per view gets so much hype (more than Mojo Rawley) and fails harder than Zack Ryder. That was my thought regarding last nights more boring than Corbin PPV SummerSlam 2017. Last night, the WWE had a chance to start building their future with future stars like Baron Corbin, Rusev, and Shinsuke Nakamura, but they did the exact opposite. They certainly buried Rusev who lost in minutes after a simple RKO ended the match in ten seconds. They did that to Baron Corbin who had already lost the MITB briefcase on the previous Smackdown Live and then you have him lose cleanly to a guy who quite frankly didn’t need the win even though it was Cena’s first win at Summerslam since 2010. I was pleased to see that the WWE finally put the Smackdown Women’s title around the waist of someone who deserves it in Natalya (her first title in six years). I was rather upset that they put the Raw Women’s Championship around the waste of a superstar who just isn’t boss enough to hold it considering she ignores whatever fans she has left. One thing though is for certain and that is if you want to view SummerSlam skip all the matches and just watch AJ Styles vs Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose vs Cesaro & Sheamus, and watch the Fatal Four Match because those matches saved the night from being a total disaster.

I do however have a piece of advice for the WWE, if you want losses from Bray Wyatt to mean anything then you have to let him win some times otherwise what are you doing with a guy who started out the year WWE Champion? You see I am really starting to think that it may be time for Vince McMahon to start handing down the reigns to others like the proven Triple H who has turned NXT into a dynamite show that delivers every single time. Can you imagine a WWE that is run by that mastermind? I know I could and I think I am ready to see it happen very soon otherwise we are going to be force fed crap result sand unworthy champions. The fatal four way match delivered in every way and it just felt like a big match main event which is what you want. I am just waiting to see if the WWE books Brock Lesnar vs Braun Strowman because that needs to happen like now. Is anyone going to called up from NXT tonight on Monday Night Raw? We can only wait and see. As far as my predictions, I went 5-8 in this PPV and I am happy with it because it just proves my point and some of the people I wanted to win did.

It’s that time of the year again when things start to slow down because it’s almost the end of the summer. WrestleMania 33 has already come and go as it happened four months ago so what do we need to keep us in the spirit of summer? Well, lets give us the second biggest PPV behind WrestleMania in SummerSlam which comes to us once again from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Now this year’s event can go one of two ways in my opinion with one of them being that it turns into a total disaster of an event or they make things right to set the road to WrestleMania. We all know the matches we would like to see happen at WrestleMania 34, it’s whether they get it right at this pay per view that sets the tone. One of the first things I want to talk about is the selection of pre-show matches that they decided. First you have the new cruiserweight champion in Akira Tozawa defending the belt against the man he beat for it in Neville. Then you have The New Day defending their Smackdown Tag Team titles against former champs The Usos. The last match of the pre-show features The Hardy Boyz teaming up with Kurt Angle’s son Jason Jordan as they take on The Miz and the Miztourage (Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas). The only argument that I am going to make is that The New Day match does not belong on the pre-show card because you know they are going to give you an excellent match that is worthy of opening the PPV and setting the pace. I can understand the Hardys only because The Revival is out of the picture due to an injury which means they had nothing to do, but unfortunately one of the best heels is relegated to the pre-show. The cruiserweight match is their quite simply because it’s a pre-show title match. You don’t believe me, just look at past PPV’s dating all the way back to WrestleMania 33. The match that I would have thrown in place of the New Day match is the Smackdown Women’s Championship match only because its not as interesting of a match as the Raw Women’s title and Naomi just does not have star talent in my opinion.

The rest of the card is pretty stacked if you ask me although they are a couple of uninteresting matches on the card. I think the whole world is ready to see the uninteresting reign of Jinder Mahal come to a close and the era of strong style to rise to the top. You know you want this because it could set up a mega match between Shinsuke and AJ Styles at WrestleMania. I honestly feel bad for The Big Show who gets to work a program with Big Cass who it already looks like the WWE has lost faith in and expect to go close to 20 minutes especially if the rumors of this being a punishment to Enzo Amore for his recent troubles being truth. One match that is going to be interesting to see at SummerSlam is the match between John Cena and Baron Corbin only because the way the match goes and the result could speak a 1000 words as far as where Baron’s career is going considering he already lost the MITB briefcase. I am not 100% sure how I feel about the Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks feud that is happening, but the fact that they don’t like each other in real life has me interested enough in it then I do the other women’s match.

One of my favorite feuds that is going on in the WWE features two of my favorites on the whole roster in the WWE in Kevin Owens and AJ Styles. I am at the point that it would not bother me if AJ drops the belt tonight or not because I know you are getting a guaranteed great match especially with Shane O’Mac as the special guest referee. Randy Orton vs Rusev is another throw away match in my opinion, but you can only hope that Randy makes Rusev look good tonight in the ring otherwise we’ll be chanting out we want Lana (as your valet/Manager of course). I am honestly hoping that the WWE makes the right choice tonight as far as The New Face of Fear vs The Demon match is concerned. Bray deserves to be at the top of the company and so doesn’t Finn, but I am invested in a future with Bray Wyatt. Granted his WrestleMania match with Randy Orton was horrible, but not every match is a home run. As far as the big main event is concerned, we all know that there are rumors out there of the next PPY featuring a main event that is Brock Lesnar taking on Braun Strowman. The Beast Incarnate taking on the Monster Among Men, but the only question now if that’s true is who walks out WWE Universal Champion? If that is the case (and hear me out), I think it would be awesome for Braun to win the title tonight and defend it clean (ish) against Brock at the next PPV before Brock goes to do his UFC thing again. Now the rest is up to the company to decide as far as what direction they decide to take tonight, but I will definitely be tuning in for sure. Here are my predictions and just an FYI, if you don’t see my predictions on this blog, just follow me on Twitter for my predictions twitter.com/@MrXPunchOut for those.

When it comes to different types of No Holds Barred matches, I have been scouring the internet looking for them. We’ve hosted an ambulance match, a deathmatch, and now we have for all of you out there a parking lot brawl. On the September 11, 2003 episode of WWE Smackdown, John Cena would battle Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero in a parking lot match. After months of the pestering Cena who was a much better and grittier character in 2003 then he is in 2017, Eddie Guerrero was out to end this feud especially after Cena had stolen his low rider. The two when the match finally started were just beating the hell out of each other as they slammed each other on top of the cars. After bodyslamming Cena on top of a car, Eddie climbed it and went to deliver a vertical suplex, but Cena reversed it and delivered it to Eddie forcing him to land on the roof of the car. At one point, Cena opened up a minivan and started grabbing weapons which was everything from a lawnmower to a shovel to try and use on Guerrero to which he failed every time to land a shot. Thank God for that because the lawnmower would’ve not been a pretty site to see what damage it caused.

Eddie would proceed to use a car to his advantage as he hit Cena with the car door and then proceeded to beat him while he choked thanks to a seatbelt being around his neck. Cena would eventually do the same as he backbody dropped Eddie on to a windshield and then started beating him with the car door. The match was not pretty at all as both men would proceed to go through a car window at some point in the match head first. This is everything a WWE fan wants in a match and they were delivering. At one point in the match, John was looking to end it by delivering an FU (basically an AA) to Eddie on top of a car, but Eddie was able to reverse it with a hip toss. Then out of nowhere, Chavo comes out and smashes something on top of Cena’s head which gave Eddie the time to hit a five star frog splash from the top of a car for the win as he covered John for the 1-2-3. The rest as they say is history and we will always miss Eddie Guerrero.

At the time of Extreme Rules 2012, I felt that the WWE was lacking in the excitement category. I felt that the writing and the talent that the WWE had at the time was not showing their true potential. The only exciting wrestlers at the time were Daniel Bryan and CM Punk and John Cena in my opinion had become stale. The match he had with The Rock at Wrestlemania the month before wasn’t the greatest match of the night, but a lot of us were happy The Rock had won. But on April 2ND, when John Cena was blabbering about his loss to the Rock, we were treated to a special return. All of a sudden, Brock Lesnar’s music had burst out of the speakers and the man was back. He headed to the center of the ring and before any words could be spoken between the two, he delivered an F5 to John Cena. That set up the very fight we are talking about here on Into The Vault, it was the first ever meeting between Brock Lesnar and John Cena in an extreme rules match.

John needed to win this match badly, he couldn’t go two PPV’s in a row with losses, he would have never been the same. Right from the get go, Brock tackled Cena and busted him wide open with some huge elbow blasts to the head that connected. Brock would brutalize Cena with tons of fists and some brutal knees to the ribs. I mean for a good 10 or 15 minutes, Brock was brutalizing John Cena. He was dismantling the fan favorite and any time Cena tried to gain some momentum, Brock was there to cut it off. Some time into the match, John tried to hit the AA, but Brock countered it and hit Cena with the F5. The only problem is Cena’s leg knocked referee Charles Robinson out of the ring. When the second referee showed up, it was too late.

They had wasted too much time as Cena kicked out. So, in response, Brock clothes-lined the referee out of the ring. A couple of minutes later, Brock would bring the steel steps into the ring as he used it for leverage when he locked in the Kimora lock. Cena was able to get himself free by using his power to lift Brock and slam him against the steps. Cena would try to climb the top rope to drop a leg in Brock, but Brock would move out of the way as Cena rolled to the outside. After Brock regained his composure, he used the steps as a launching pad as he ran into a defenseless Cena hanging on the outside of the ring, but Brock would stumble as well. Brock would try for the same move a second time, but he didn’t realize that Cena was able to get his hands on the chain as he used it on Brock Lesnar. Cena came back into the ring and he delivered an AA to a bloodied Brock Lesnar and he pinned him for the 1-2-3. John Cena would win the first of the three battles these two have had so far.

There is always a method to my madness and there is an obvious reason why I chose this specific match from WrestleMania XXVII. At WrestleMania 33, John Cena is teaming up with his girlfriend Nikki Bella to take on The Miz and his wife Maryse in a mixed tag team match. If the WWE was smart, they would have the Miz win that match for more bragging rights and something new for himself to say on the air. It also all started at WrestleMania XXVII when The Miz took on John Cena at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta as the Miz defended his WWE Championship against Cena in the main event. When the match started, The Miz was trying to ground Cena with a side headlock, but Cena showed why he was more powerful by simply shoving him off. The Miz had to think of a new gameplan because matching power with Cena in the match was a foolish move so he decided to bend the rules a little. A wrestler always takes advantage of the referee’s five count and The Miz definitely did that as he gave the boots to Cena in the corner. The Miz was now in full control of the match after a huge Irish whip the corner and his patent awesome clothesline in the corner.

But like any John Cena match in history, you have to stay on top of him at all times otherwise he super Cena’s up and he delivers a gut wrench suplex out of nowhere. Like anything though, Cena would give up his advantage to The Miz who began to work away on the head of Cena with big shots that seemed to knock him off his game for most of the match. At one point in the match, you had to wonder what kind of a force Alex Riley was going to be for The Miz on the outside and after a turnbuckle was exposed, he grabbed Cena and smashed his head against it when the refs back was turned. The Miz would then nail the Skull crushing finale, but Cena would kick out on the pin attempt. When he tried for a second one, Cena got out of it, but it forced the Miz to run into the referee knocking him down. With the referee down, Riley would once again come to the aid of the Miz and he used the briefcase on Cena. Unfortunately for The Miz, Cena would kick out on the pin attempt. Riley would come on to the ring apron and he would try his best to distract the referee from what The Miz was about to do, but unfortunately for Riley, he’d get the briefcase to the head and Cena would deliver one hell of an AA to The Miz.

The Miz would to many people’s surprise kick out of the pin attempt. The Miz would roll to the outside only to see Cena charge at him like a defensive lineman and clothesline the champion over the timekeepers cave area. As soon as The Miz climbed the security barrier to possibly escape, Cena speared him over it and to the crowd’s area. The referee would then count both men out and he would reach ten before he went over to check on them as he ruled the match a draw. Then out of nowhere, The Rock’s music hit the speakers and the people’s champ made his way down to ringside. The Rock rejected what the Anonymous Raw General had written and exclaimed that the match was now a No DQ, No Count out match and that it was to be restarted. Then as soon as both men entered the ring, John tried for the AA, but The Miz held on to the rope and as soon as Cena turned around, he received a Rock bottom from the great one. Miz ever the opportunist, covered Cena for the win, but The Rock wasn’t finished there. He began laying the smackdown on The Miz right after the match. The Rock would nail one hell of a spinebuster and he followed it with a people’s elbow that buried deep into the heart of The Miz.

Whether you love him or you chant that he sucks every single time he comes out to the ring, there is no denying that the hardest working man in the WWE is none other than John Cena. He has been the face that runs the place for a very long time and you can’t have a countdown without him as well as his opponent at WrestleMania 22 than the cerebral assassin, The Game, Triple H. After he failed to win the Royal Rumble that year, Triple took part in the road to WrestleMania tournament which was put on to determine a number one contender for the then WWE Champion John Cena. After going through both the Big Show and Rob Van Dam in the finals, Triple H was poised and ready to take on John Cena. The match featured some cool entrances in the beginning with Triple H coming out as Conan The Destroyer and John Cena having gangsters in prohibition style suits and Tommy-guns (CM Punk is one of the guys in a suit). When the match first started, they both tested each other in mat wrestling skills and Triple H got the better of the exchange with a slap to the back of the head to Cena.

Triple H continued to school Cena with a simple wrist lock right into a hammer lock and a push off with his boot to Cena’s butt. The challenger was riding the momentum and the roar of the crowd as he continued to embarrass Cena with a big right hand to the jaw that was a reversal out of the AA. Then on the collar and elbow tie up, he kneed Cena in the stomach and just threw him out of the ring. What was going through the mind of the champion who was being embarrassed by the cerebral assassin? Well, Cena had had enough, he stormed back into the ring and began throwing rights and lefts at the challenger stunning him. Then Cena began to follow that up with a backbody drop and a fisherman’s suplex, but on the ensuing pinfall cover, Triple H would kick out. We finally had a fight on our hands with the unorthodox Cena and the old school Triple H. Cena continued working on Triple H with a sleeper hold, but as soon as Triple H tried to fight back, John was right on top of it by delivering an Irish whip to the corner that sent Triple H out of the ring.

Triple H tried to change the momentum with a thumb to the eye and a pedigree on the steel entrance ramp, but was backbody dropped on it instead. A Harley Race like high knee to the head was all Triple H needed to swing the momentum his way as he began just hammering away at Cena and then he threw Cena right into the steel ring steps on the outside. Triple H was just taking it to Cena, not allowing him to have any offense and if he did, he got a facebuster and a lariat for his troubles from Triple H. After a while, both men began to just exchange rights and lefts with each other and unfortunately for the Game, Cena got the best of the exchange ending it with a big powerslam. After a modified powerbomb from Cena, he would attempt the five knuckle shuffle, but he took too long and Triple H countered with a spinebuster. All of a sudden out of nowhere, Cena powered up and hit Triple H with two shoulder blocks, a modified side suplex (because Triple H had him in a sleeper hold), and the five knuckle shuffle.

Super Cena was born and he was pumped up and ready to rock. After pumping his Reebok pumps, he executed a drop toe hold and put Triple H right into his STFU submission. Would Triple H tap out or would he reach the ropes. It looked grim for a minute, but then Triple H willed himself over to the ropes breaking the hold. After John tried to deliver an AA to Triple H, but Triple H countered by slamming him into the corner against the referee and then he conveniently delivered a low blow that also struck the referee. Triple H then proceeded to exit the ring to grab what JR called the “difference maker” being the sledgehammer and brought it into the ring. As soon as he brought in, Cena tried to block with a kick to the midsection, but as soon as he hit the ropes, he returned to receive the sledgehammer shot to the head. Triple H covered him, but Cena kicked out at two. Then out of nowhere, Cena hit Triple H with the AA (It was called an FU at the time), but Triple H kicked out at two on the ensuing cover. Cena then uncharacteristically went to the top to attempt a cross body that completely missed, but it didn’t matter because when Triple H tried for the pedigree, Cena countered it into an STFU. Then much to the dismay of the crowd, Triple H tapped out.

For today’s Countdown To WrestleMania 33 match, we are honoring two men who are legends in the business. Eddie Guerrero is a legend and WWE hall of famer who was taken away from us way too soon. Kurt Angle is a legendary Olympic wrestler who is about to get inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame class of 2017 and as usual we cover a match from an upcoming hall of famer. We are covering the classic confrontation that the two had at WrestleMania XX when Eddie put the WWE Championship on the line against Angle inside the Madison Square Garden. Before the match, the two of them were best friends with Angle helping Eddie during his rivalry with his nephew Chavo Guerrero Jr. On a late January episode of Smackdown, Eddie had last eliminated Kurt in a 15 man battle royal that earned him the right to face Brock Lesnar for the belt. At No Way Out, Kurt defeated both John Cena and The Big Show to earn a shot at the title at WrestleMania. In the same night, Eddie defeated Brock Lesnar to become champion. At the following Smackdown, Kurt was the special guest referee for a match that Eddie had with Chavo Guerrero and when it came time for Kurt to slam his hand down for three on the pinfall attempt, he stopped and resisted and turned on Eddie setting up the match that night.

Both men started off the match just trying to feel each other out, see who would break first and after a little mat wrestling, we were back to square one. In order for Eddie to win, he would have to rely on his Lucha Libre background while Angle had to keep him grounded for some mat wrestling and Angle was doing just that until Eddie decided to lay some powerful shoulder blocks into him. Eddie was proving that he knew how to wrestle and that he could hang with Angle. Things would remain pretty even as both men tried their best mat skills against each other with Kurt having the first shot before Eddie countered out and into a keylock. Angle would take the first advantage when he got out of the wrist lock by throwing Eddie against the ropes and hitting him with a knee to the midsection. Then in a very smart move, he put Eddie in an abdominal stretch making sure he keeps him grounded. The advantage though wouldn’t last very long for Kurt Angle.

Eddie was able to counter into a vertical suplex, but when he tried to convert it into the Three Amigos, Angle was able to counter it into a German suplex. When he tried to convert that into the rolling German suplex, Eddie was able to shake him off and send him to the outside. Kurt then tried to deliver a German suplex with both men standing on the apron, but Eddie was able to deflect it. Eddie would then try for a high risk maneuver to the outside, but Angle quickly moved out of the way forcing Eddie to hit the security barrier. Just like the pitbull that he is, Angle began attacking the midsection area of Eddie with a reverse backbreaker (more like a gutbreaker) and some shoulder blocks to the midsection. After some successful belly to back suplexes, Angle would try for the pin, but Eddie would kick out at two. Angle at the moment really was wrestling the picture perfect match, but he couldn’t get cocky cause it could cost him. Kurt would try to set Eddie up for a belly to back suplex from the top turnbuckle, but Eddie kept deflecting it. At one point, Eddie tried for the frog splash, but Angle moved right out of the way.

After some hammering fists from Angle, Eddie began to fire himself up to the point that he was delivering it Angle with some impressive shots of his own. Guerrero looked to be in full control of the match. After trading advantages, Angle would try to finish the match off for good with an Olympic slam, but Eddie was able to counter out of it with an arm drag and he followed it with a tilt-a-whirl head scissors. As soon as Eddie tried for the three amigos again, he would get two suplexes, but on the third, Angle would counter it into an ankle lock submission. Eddie would counter out of that, but as soon as he went for a frog splash, he was met by Angle who delivered the belly to back suplex from the top rope. Angle would once again try for an Olympic slam, but Eddie countered it into a DDT. Eddie would finally hit the five star frog splash, but Angle kicked out on the ensuing pin. Both men had to be wondering what it was going to take to put each other away. After playing possum, Angle slapped on the ankle lock and it looked like he might take this one, but Eddie once again countered. Things did not look good for Eddie who was quickly untying the shoe laces on his boots to what we believe was him relieving the pressure on his ankle. Unfortunately for Angle, it was all a ploy to sucker him in the ring and into a roll up as Eddie stole the match 1-2-3. This was truly an amazing match that showcased the brilliance of both men.

Last night’s WWE Elimination Chamber was a pretty decent night overall that had a lot of upsets in my opinion. I predicted certain matches a certain way cause I thought that maybe the WWE would go one way to set up further matches down the road and then there were matches that went the way I thought they would. One of the biggest moments of the night was the crowning of a new WWE Champion in Bray Wyatt when he defeated AJ Styles last to win the WWE Championship after eliminating John Cena before him. It was a match that was excellent and had all of the thrills that you would expect from an Elimination Chamber match. I like that the WWE went with safety first when it came to the chamber as they added padding on the inside of the structure. The biggest surprises to me was the fact that they had Becky Lynch defeat Mickie James because I thought for sure it would set up a rivalry, but it still very well could. The other was Naomi winning the Smackdown Women’s Championship, but after the match I thought about it and said to myself with WrestleMania 33 in Orlando, I’m really not surprised anymore. Not to take anything away from her win, she had improved a lot over the years.

I knew American Alpha was going to win the match, but they could have done more for the Ascension. Alpha was just decimated by The USOS and the Ascension come down, beat the crap out of them, but lose out of nowhere. Not a very good finish for that match, it just makes them look like jokes especially when your commentators are calling them the most dominate team in NXT. I thought for sure that Dolph was going to win the match especially after eliminating Kalisto from the picture in the beginning, but as soon as Kalisto reappeared, I said that Dolph was screwed. I had a feeling that Randy Orton was going to win his match because there was no way he was losing before WrestleMania. The only thing I am wondering now is how is the WWE going to handle this situation now that Randy Orton is going to face Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 33? Only time will tell, but I am excited for WrestleMania 33 because I will be in Orlando for it. Now as far as my card is concerned, I went 4-4 as far as predictions, but I scored 62 points out of a possible which is 53%. I did better than last month, but hopefully it gets better with WWE Fastlane. Check out my card below:
